Description

@midenok

Goal: Build Kicker from KDE3 inside KDE4

1. Scripts

We pick all scripts from here. Please, look inside them before using to tweak paths, etc. if required. Feel free to make them more general and commit them back in case they contain specific names and paths.

2. Chrooted OS

Install chroot jail for Ubuntu Hardy (repository: hardy-updates).

Links:

Debootstrap -- a tool which will install a Debian base system into a subdirectory of another, already installed system;
Ubuntu setup: DebootstrapChroot (More)

3. Dependencies

Install all prerequisite dependencies (possible inside chrooted environment since they may require outdated software).

4. Build

Build first kdelibs and then kdebase by the following scheme (running scripts from inside src dir):

  1. instantiate.sh (not required each time or not required at all)
  2. autoconf.sh (not required each time, required on autotools version change)
  3. configure.sh (required first time or if you change settings)
  4. build.sh
  5. install.sh (you will need linked-install, which you will find also in linux.git in devel/)

Note: before running everything, please check scripts for 'trinitisms' and remove them (tqtinterface)

5. Run
  1. shell.sh
  2. run.sh
